Falling angels, double hearts, crescent moons and lightning bolts are some of the pyrotechnic shapes to premiere at Sydney’s New Years Eve fireworks display.This year’s theme “Make Your Mark” will feature cutting edge pyrotechnics like a multi-layered bridge effect and the first ever “x” shaped fireworks.


City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the event is expected to continue to draw more crowds than celebrations in New York, London, Paris and Berlin.

“Each year more than 1.5 million people gather for an awe-inspiring welcome to the New Year, and Sydney’s iconic harbour becomes a place of hope, excitement and celebration,” she said.


“X will mark the spot this Sydney New Year’s Eve with one of the biggest and most watched celebrations on the planet shining the spotlight on our city.”

Creative director and Bundjalung woman Rhoda Roberts came up with the theme to mark the end of a
decade and her final year helming the event.

“For centuries my ancestors have marked the passing of time and history with Indigenous traditions like rock markings and larrakitj carvings,” she said in a statement.

“Make Your Mark is about inspiring everyone to think about positive ways they can mark the beginning of the new decade.”

The event will include a Harbour of Light Parade, the 9pm Family Fireworks and the Midnight Finale.

The 2010 New Years Eve fireworks display will be synchronised to a soundtrack broadcast on 2DayFM .
